The problem isn't a lack of community, it's that the project is solving a problem that isn't relevant to anyone except Fortune-X00 companies.

- phillipcarter 4y agoYeah I'm gonna call bullshit on that one. I work daily with everyone from startups and nonprofits to big banks. They use OTel because it solves problems for them. They don't all use it the same way, but they use it.
- hooverd 4y agoSo, public sector here. We use Honeycomb with OTel and it's most definitely solving our problems. It's incredible being able to see traces up and down our whole stack and pinpoint where an issue is.
- preseinger 4y agoWhat RPS do you serve, net? Everything works to trivial scale, e.g. O(10k) RPS and below. Do you do more than that per server?
- LewisJEllis 4y agoYou sound like you're trying to have it both ways: "OTel solves a problem that is irrelevant unless you're massive" but also "well of COURSE it can work if you're not massive, how massive are you?" There are tons of startups and other not-fortune-x00 orgs benefitting from what OTel provides. Your claim that OTel is irrelevant outside fortune-x00 cos is very clearly not true.
- preseinger 4y agoI don't agree that OTel delivers value to not-fortune-x00 orgs. It's bloatware and whatever benefits it delivers are more cheaply achieved with other solutions.
- hooverd 4y agoWell, we're certainly not Fortune 500 scale, so it works for us.
